There are six different tours to choose from: Sunset Cliff Top Ride, Wine Tour, Lizandro Trails, Sintra Forrest to Ocean, Mafra Valley Tour and the Cabo da Roca Tour.
SUNSET CLIFF TOP RIDE
This tour is the most popular one, because it’s for all levels. Also, with this tour you’ll see both the country side and the ocean, so it’s a combination of two of the best sceneries. The first part of the tour is through the woods and the Portuguese countryside, away from the asphalt roads. Then the trail leads to the ocean, and along the high cliffs of the World Surfing Reserve you will see the sun set in the Atlantic ocean. What better way to end your day in Ericeira?
